Become a Voodoo Master | Side Quests - Tacarigua Risen 3 Guide

Unlocking the quest: Talk to Hirutu (Kila island)

The quest giver: Hirutu

Note - This quest becomes available after you join the Natives!

You can find Red in Puerto Sacarico

You may have unlocked this quest during your stay on Kila island, specifically after meeting with Hirutu the chief. In one stage of the quest you have to visit Tacarigua, however, you should do that only after meeting Red on Kila. The quest's objective is to catch Red, who used voodoo magic against the Nameless Hero and now wants to share its secrets with the Inquisition. Red can be found in a town Puerto Sacarico, located in the west of Tacarigua (point 8 on the map). The man will confess to the deed only after a long conversation. From this meeting you will also learn that it is Roquefort who has to drink the Potion of Oblivion, and to do that it is necessary to use voodoo magic.

Get Jose's hair

However, you do not need to meet with Roquefort right now - it would bring you nothing anyway. Instead, enter one of the nearby houses and start a conversation with Jose (point 9 on the map). During the conversation with Jose select the option Pull out hair so to obtain A Strand of Hair. You can now conclude the meeting.

The next step is poorly explained in the Nameless Hero's journal. You have to craft a voodoo doll. Before you do anything, double check if your hero has Craft Spells proficiency from Magic category, because without it you cannot do a thing. If you do not have this skill, visit a trainer (e.g. Tenya on Kila island) and pay for the training (2,000 gold).

If you do have Craft Spells proficiency, you can now start looking for an Ancestral Stone, which is a sort of a workshop for crafting voodoo spells. An Ancestral Stone is in a small cave in the north-east from Puerto Sacarico (point 7 on the map), as depicted in the picture above. Of course you do not have to use that particular Ancestral Stone, as it may be any one, e.g. the one on Kila island, near Tenya.

Interact with the Ancestral Stone, and from the list choose A Strand of Hair, which you have recently acquired. In order to prepare a Voodoo Doll of Jose, you have to possess four ingredients:

• A Strand of Hair - You obtained this during the meeting with Jose.
• 1 Jade - You should have a lot of these on you, but if not, you can look around, explore a cave/mine or, as a last resort, buy a Jade from a vendor.
• 1 Eye - Eyes are dropped by some monsters when killed, so if you checked their remains (even without special hunting skills), you should now have at least some of these you. If not, visit a miscellaneous items vendor (vendors list is in a separate part of the guide).
• 1 Monkey Skull - The best way to obtain skulls is by killing monkeys. Most often you can find them in the jungle on Kila island. If you do not want to waste time for the search, you can go to a miscellaneous items vendor (e.g. Tenya).

If you possess all the required ingredients, confirm that you want to create a voodoo doll. Select it right in your inventory (Magic tab) and drag to the quick access bar.

Take control over Jose

Go back to the building where Jose is (point 9 on the map) and activate the previously prepared voodoo doll (select the right item from the quick access bar). Performing this action will give you control over the cook.

Give Roquefort the potion

Playing as Jose you can now go to the building on the west-side of the compound (point 8 on the map), the residence of Sebastiano. Here, look for Roquefort and start a conversation with him in order to give him the Potion of Oblivion you received from Tenya (700 Glory Points). This action will make Roquefort lose his knowledge of voodoo magic that he learned from Red. Go back to the place where you "left" the Nameless Hero, and retake control over him.

You can either let Red go or kill him

Your visit to Tacarigua ends with the decision what to do with Red (point 8 on the map). During your meeting with Red you can either let the pirate go (adds soul points) or kill him (removes soul points). If you chose the first option (200 Glory Points), you can use Intimidate skill, provided it has at least 20 points ascribed to it, to get rum. Choosing the violent solution will not result in combat immediately, because first you go away from the town in order not to alarm the Inquisition. Jose is a rather weak opponent, still you should avoid his melee attacks (300 Glory Points).

Note - If you defeat Jose in combat, examine his corpse - he has a valuable voodoo magic spell schematic.

Note - If you have not yet completed the remaining stages of this quest, you have to visit Antigua and Taranis islands. Otherwise, you may return to Kila, to have the concluding conversation with Tenya.
